    It amazes me how much some people will ask for something just because it is "old" or they check for previous listings and see the highest price listed and mark theirs slightly lower even though they don't notice the fact that none were actually sold at those prices or anywhere near those prices. My mother is "old" so I wonder how much I could get for her. I really hope she doesn't see this. I am going to have to make a phone call now.

    I have been listening to this a bit recently, did you know his hat is basically a bowl of burning oil or similar.

    It is a great set of scales and collars. The shipping is very high. I don't think I would buy with the landed cost that high and the exchange being rather poor right now makes it too much for the scales. There is no guarantee they will be reasonably straight. The blade is way over done. Now it is just a sad memory of what it once was.
    It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!

    The pitting is quite heavy near the spine, but the thing that concerns me the most is the large crack near the toe.

    Yeah, it actually looks like there was two cracks to me. The one near the toe you can see light through and one near the heel that was welded or filled. I can't be sure though.

    It seems to me I see a lot more "fishing" posts than I used to on eBay. People posting pure rubbish and knowing it but patiently waiting for a stupid fish...yeah, it's always gone on, but this type of post seems more prolific over the last months. Lots of fluff, and not very damned much razor. And not just little "screw you" $30 Kriegers. I mean the $400 "Limited Edition" Pakastani RSO's. It seems the charlatans are becoming aware of the (unethical) financial opportunities rising with the popularity of the hobby.

    Continue windy rant here...
